The combination of "decoration," your pun, and the label reading "The Moistest Cake You've Ever Tasted" - I don't think I could make myself eat this, even if the alternative was the coiled-poo-hound cake.

Hey Jen, I'd just like to say that I have enjoyed Cakewrecks since the moment I found. I remember the first day of looking through your archives a laughing for a good 2 hours minimum. And while there were some inappropriate cakes, but usually they were very mild and you took care to give us a heads up before showing the picture, I just simply glossed over them, but lately it seems unfortunate that these even more disgusting cakes seem to be becoming the general rule, and I don't find them very funny.

Please let me say first off that I know you have been a long time reader/commenter and that both Jen and I appreciate it. But your statement that "disgusting" cakes are becoming the "general rule" is a little off base. Just for fun, I looked through the archives and the closest remotely risque cake was a skeleton holding a pumpkin. Three weeks ago.

Believe me when I say that Jen and I always try to be sensitive to the readers when potentially posting something that some might find unsavory. At the same time, you need to understand that no child will ever see anything more than a skeleton holding a pumpkin, a baseball bat or a space shuttle. And frankly, it's just funny when a decorator makes an honest attempt at a nose or a baseball bat and fails this miserably.

I have said it before and I'll say it again: It's part of Cake Wrecks. It always has been and it always will be. It's no more frequent now than it was when the blog began. The question is, does it really bother you so much that you stop reading? The choice is yours.

Hey John, my kid would probably look at those and think they were badly made letters! But yeah, kids don't see the dirty joke until they're old enough to turn EVERYTHING into a dirty joke, at which point a decorator could make a lovely and accurate bat and the kids that age would still giggle and say "heheh, BAT!" a la Bevis and Butthead.

PS OT, I just got email from Kerry Vincent thanking me for the cupcake wreck I did for you guys. :D

wv: moosh, as in what you have to do to your icing bag to make it squirt penis-turds like that.

wow 2 balls.. a piece of poo and a teeny penis all on a mutant clover... and its the "moistest cake I'll ever taste?"..... I think i will pass..(and judging by the items on the cake.. i don't wanna KNOW what they moistened the cake with)

That "bat" on the left has *got* to be on purpose. Surely something that phallic couldn't be acheived on accident--to me it looks like the left bat was piped in 2 rows--maybe someone was trying to get fired?

P.S. Am I the only one who thinks the words "moistest cake ever!" just add to the naughty factor of this "cake"?

John, I think the "family friendly" word you are looking for is, apparently, "bat." After all, baseball is full of lots of other euphemistic terms, it being America's OTHER favorite pastime. What's not to love?

Meanwhile... Aside from the (oh yes they are, too!) obvious [ahem] "bats" .. IF someone did buy this moist-est cake in the world and prevailed upon some others to eat it, just how long [dear me, euphemisms do "pop up" don't they?] would it take for their teeth to return to their normal shade? There's an old film called "how green was my valley." This cake asks the question, "how green were my teeth." (Among OTHER questions, of course.)

I don't care how moist this cake is, because between the shiny, shiny, deeply green icing and the icky brown bits that may or may not be poo (which the intensely green icing probably also tastes like), there isn't much left to love. Unless you're into eating paperboard, that is.

I think they drew the "realistic" looking on of the left and were cracking up like "DUDE, THAT ONE LOOKS JUST LIKE A PEN15! okay, okay NOW we have to make the other one NOT look like one so we won't get into trouble..."

and of course, the irony of it also being the "The Moistest Cake You've Ever Tasted"priceless.

Is it just me or was there more time spent on the left bat than the right? Maybe these people need a picture for inspiration before they wreckorate. Have they never seen a bat? Maybe when the person thinks of a bat.....penis comes to mind,lol. Nevermind. :oP

I only had to tilt my head side ways to tell that they were NOT black jelly fish with radioactive uni brows and no eyes! Their tomb stones! You can really see one says RIP if you just tilt your head side ways (Or computer, I would prefer head, but its you mind. -snicker-) Any ways, its a TOMB STONE! For the death of the scribble man! Who turned into a radioactive ghost and is trying to teach the tomb stones how to spell! See what a little head tilt can do? See? Huh?

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
